The Uttar Pradesh government established measures to let 2,000 senior citizens bathe at Sangam before the Mahakumbh ends on February 26. The organization focuses on enabling up to 2,000 senior religious visitors from state-run retirement facilities to join the sacred event.

The social welfare department serves as the leading organization.
The Social Welfare Department's pandal established by National Medicos Organization and Artificial Limbs Manufacturing Corporation of India (ALIMCO) together with the Social Welfare Department operates along the Sangam banks to assist individuals in disadvantaged conditions and underprivileged groups according to government documentation.

Shravan Kumbh serves as a crucial initiative because it provides free medical check-ups combined with assistive tools to assist primarily people with hearing impairments.

The special camp for elderly and hearing-impaired patients marks its inaugural appearance as a part of Mahakumbh history.
The Yogi Adityanath government marks a historical milestone by organizing its inaugural exclusive camp service for senior citizens and persons with hearing disabilities during Mahakumbh events. This camp provides:

Medical testing services and hearing aids are provided free of charge to the needy population.


Comfortable accommodations for elderly devotees.


The officials made specific plans to organize holy bathing activities at the Sangam.


100-Bed ashram for elderly pilgrims


The government has organized a 100-bed ashram within the Kumbh site to accommodate senior citizens who come from different old-age homes.

The ashram ensures that elderly devotees receive modern accommodations while they yearn to join the Mahakumbh religious activities and Sangam Snan.

Target to facilitate 2,000 devotees


The government seeks to arrange Amrit Snan opportunities for two thousand elderly devotees before the closing day of the Mahakumbh festival. The expected large number of pilgrims will emerge during the specific bathing periods on February 12 (Maghi Purnima) and February 26 (Mahashivratri).

UP government's commitment to senior citizens


The double-engine government continues to protect elderly citizens through his commitment to safeguard their lives and well-being no matter where they reside in Uttar Pradesh according to Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Social Welfare Asim Arun. Shravan Kumbh provides many benefits to numerous senior citizens according to the initiative's plans.

Massive turnout at Mahakumbh 2025


Large numbers of pilgrims continue to visit the Triveni Sangam holy point every day since the start of the Mahakumbh on January 13.

The Sagam experienced a total of 35 crore devotees who performed their holy rituals up to Monday evening. The UP government anticipates more than 50 crore people to visit the bathing sites before February 26 as two significant bathing dates remain.
